A Simple Wish...

For You, The Sun, Moon, and Stars - ATC

For quite a few of us on the East Coast of the United States, this
has been a glorious Holiday weekend...three days away from the routine
of work, wonderful local events to share with friends and family, and
best of all, weather sent to us from the Gods.

The
ambiance was just the thing I needed to unlock the way to my Muse.
Spurred on by my collection of quotes and saying I've collected over the
years, I kept coming back to one:

Sitting
under the pergola, listening to the birds sing, caressed by the warm
Summer breeze, my Artist Trading Cards took shape. The substrate is
illustration board. The background is a mixture of sponged Distress Inks
of various hues. I stencilled and rubber stamped the patterns in
metallic acrylic paint, dusted with Perfect Pearls to add a bit of
shimmer. The inspirational quote cut from vintage paper finished the
cards.

How often, we as Artists, look to Nature for inspiration.
From the simple elegance of a sprouting seedling to the infinite wonder
we experience when gazing at the night sky, it is all there for us. We
just need to take the time to stop, look, and listen.

My wish is a simple one. May your Summer be filled with Sunshine, Moonbeams, and Starlight...and those you love to share them.

About Me

Artists, dancers, writers, and poets search for a Muse for guidance, inspiration, passion, and the spark of creativity.

As a member of Sisterhood of the Muse, my Blog is home to the work of artists, and like-minded souls, who hear her voice and allow the fascination to begin.

As a visual artist and dancer, I enjoy exploring the
seduction of spirit and following the journey wherever it may take me. Utilizing a variety of techniques, my work is a
convergence of the traditional with the digital...in both the visual and performing arts.

Above all, I am a great believer in Synchronicity and love the idea that it can lead to the most profound aha moments we can experience in life and in Art.

My desire is to share what inspires me, entertain those who choose to visit, and perhaps spark the sense of wonder and creativity that dwells in us all.
